Germans Rush
Defenses to Slow
Rome Drive
Allied Headquarters, Algiers,
Jan. 6. ? German engineers are
rushing to completion an Italian
"Slegfrlend Line" several miles
deep and as powerful as similar
Nazi fortifications in Western Eu
rope, German prisoners reported
today at headquarters disclosed
that Lt. Gen. Sir Oliver Leese, a
tank expert, had taken over com
mand of the British Eighth Army
in Its drive up Italy's Adriatic
coast.
Intent on keping the Allies
from Rome as long as possible,
the Nazis were said to be 'instal
ling their formidable new defense
system only a few miles from the
present battle line, with its
strongest features located In the
neighborhood of Cassino opposite
the Fifth Army and inland from
Pescara, Adriatic seaport which
Canadian forces are nearing.
Mobile Defense Units
The desperate nature of Ger
man resistance in Italy in recent
weeks possibly was dictated by
the necessity of holding until the
new line could be completed. Dr.
Fritz Todt, German engineering
genius who constructed similar
"walls" in the west, was killed
nearly a year ago in a plane ac
cident, but the organization he
built up Is believed still func
tioning.
In addition to forging the new
line, the Nazis were reported
forming reserves of mobile de
fense units back of the fighting
line and to be reinforcing their
troopB at the front with crack
mountain regiments. An Allied
officer said the enemy appeared
to be preparing for a long war of
attrition up the Italian leg.

The greatest crop losses in
North Carolina are caused by
growers not doing farm jobs at

China Planning
Huge Offensive
1'reparlng To Throw Million!* of
Men Against Japanese With
Allied Help
Chungking, .Jan. 5. ? Liang
lHan-Tsao, Ch'inese minister of in
formation, said today that the
Chinese army would launch "sev
eral millions" of men in a gen
eral counter-ofTensive against Ja
pan during 1944, provided the
weight of Allied arms is thrown
against such points as Hongkong,
Canton and Burma and that Al
lied atr strength in China is in
creased.
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek
in his New Year's address ' to
, China had 'said his nation should
bear the responsibility for an at
tack aga'inst Japan on the main
land of Asia in 1944. Liang said
that "several millions of the Chi
lli ese field army will this year b^
prepared to cooperate with Al
lied naval operations in launch
ing attacks along various fronts."
No Tln^e Set
He did not specify theaters
where Allied naval operations
could be expected.
Liang said It was difficult to
say definitely when the Chinese
army would move, but added that
"Even if Allied forces launch an
attack on the Philippines, the
days of the general Chinese coijn
ter-offens'lve will be hastened .
"The time of the offensive also
depends upon the supremacy Al
lied forces may hold over the en
emy in China's- skies," he contin
ued.
He said that Ghinese forces ex
pected to obtain better equipment
from the All'ie^, but "with the
available equipment, still will
launch a counter-offensive." Their
action, he predicted, would be
accompanied by attacks launched
upon the enemy by the peoples of
occupied territories.
